Back to Basics

New KT Fabric Arriving June 2023! 

I'm delighted to announce my newest fabric line for Moda, Back to Basics. This 20-piece collection features smaller, simple prints in all my favorite KT colors - 10 darks plus 10 tans. It's perfect for adding to your stash or starting a new project. Precuts still have the same number of strips or squares; prints are doubled.

The patterns designed for this line follow the Back to Basics theme of returning to my roots with simple, graphic quilts. I first shared my Layered Patchwork technique more than a decade ago with Five & Dime. Utilizing Moda's precuts as the starting point for layered blocks opened up a whole new world of fast & easy quilts. I'm revisiting the technique with Back to the Barn. This layered quilt is also offered as a traditionally pieced quilt in lap and king sizes.

Another simple yet graphic project for this collection is Boxed In. I visited the International Quilt Museum in Omaha, NE last year to see the red & white quilt exhibit. What an experience! I was immediately drawn to this quilt. It's visually dramatic, but so simple to piece. Just my style. We made two options for the pattern, traditional red/tan to reproduce the original, and another option using a KT Back to Basics Dessert Roll for a scrappy version. It would make a great quilt for the guy on your list.

As always, I've designed a quilt for this line featuring charm packs. I enjoy seeing a fabric collection play nicely together in a small quilt with big impact. I use my charm quilts for table toppers, wall decor, folded over a ladder or rolled and tucked into baskets. I can change them out for the seasons and have a whole new look in a hurry.

Framed uses 2 Back to Basics charm packs with a dark/light color block design. A simple pieced border of squares finishes it off nicely.
